How to exit the program using AS3??

Hi guys , i'm trying to use a button to exit the program. anyone knows which code to use?

What exactly do you mean by 'exit the program'? What program? Is your Flash Object in a browser, or is it an AIR app?
If you're talking about an AIR app, have a look at:
NativeWindow.close()

if you're using as3, check the google maps api for flash. if you're using as2, check the google maps api for javascript and use the externalinterface class in flash.

Please help how to save a movieclip in flash to svg...and how to retrive the saved svg to movieclip in flash?

hi all
please help how to save a movieclip in flash to svg...and how
to retrive the saved svg to movieclip in flash?
thanks

Do you mean from flash in a web page or do you mean
converting the swf file format (maybe with a decompiler or
whatever).
If you're meaning to do it from flash in a web page:
You can't save a movieclip from flash to svg. You could
perhaps record drawingAPI commands and create the appropriate svg
output in an internal xml object which you then send to the server.
But I don't know of any pre-built classes to do that (disclaimer:
because I don't know of any doesn't mean they don't exist).
Going from svg to flash is doing it the other way around.
Converting the svg paths back to actionscript drawing commands. I
think I've seen some examples of this online somewhere.

How to invoke the softKeyboard for a TLF textfield in AS3?

Hi,
I need to use a TLF textfield in a Flash mobile app.
How to invoke the softKeyboard on mobile devices for such a TLF textfield? I tried it the way below, but it's not showing up:
import flash.ui.Keyboard;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.events.SoftKeyboardEvent;
chat.needsSoftKeyboard = true
chat.requestSoftKeyboard()
(I can't use a "classic textfield" for a couple of reasons)
Any tips welcome

If you had something like this :
<FORM name="checkform">
<input type="text" name="myText" size="5">
<select size="1" name="select" onChange="check()">
<option value="1">Number1
<option value="2" selected>Number2
</select>
</FORM>Your javascript funtion would look like this :
<script language="JavaScript">
function check() {
     if (this.checkform.select.options[this.checkform.select.selectedIndex].value == "1") {
          this.checkform.myText.size = "20"
     } else {
          this.checkform.myText.size = "5"
</script>Note the names of the form (checkform) and the input field (myText).

How to get the duration of the flv video in AS3

please help. thanks

Why are you posting this question in the ActionScript 1 and 2
forum? :P At any rate, it's not too hard to get the duration
property from the metadata in AS3. Before I write some code
samples, are you using your own custom NetStream code, or are you
using the FLVPlayback component?

How to use tile map with AS3?

I have a file that contains a bunch of isometric tiles that I need to make a map with, much like a sprite sheet but not for making animations. So using AS3, how can I divide that file into the different tiles, knowing the coordinates of each of them. Or can it be done automatically in Flash itself, so I can access each tile from AS3?
Furthermore I've been a programmer for a couple of decades but I am new to Flash. I know there are a ton of DisplayObjects like Bitmap, Sprite, Shape, MovieClip, Symbol etc. But which one would be better to use for that file? I need to access it from AS3 as described above, but I don't need it to react to mouse events, stretch or have children, just extract each tile and move it onto the stage with AS3.
It seems to be down to a choice between Bitmap and Shape, since they're both lightweight, but I couldn't find out what the advantages and disadvantages of them are, as there was no comparison between those two on Google, though between a lot of the other objects. And Symbol seems like an idea too, since when I googled this, I found a lot of pages saying that you should convert a Bitmap to a Symbol, but I never found out why.
Oh, and since I'm building an isometric map, all the tiles and all other graphics I'll be using, will be Bitmap and not Vector since I'm drawing the graphics in pixelart.

create one tile symbol (movieclip or sprite so you can use actionscript to reference tile properties - like its x and y) and arrange them (using code or by hand) into your map.
enable the cacheAsBitmap property of your map (that has some number of tile children).
assign the mouseEnabled property of the map to false and its mouseChildren property to false.

How to make a movieclip and import it to another fla file ?

Hi,
I am having one of those 'self doubt sanity' moments.
Entering melt down here !
I want to make a movieclip from a graphic map background, and some existing movieClips that reside in another .fla
In this other .fla file the movieclips are in the wrong layer so by starting over I wish to tidy things up.
How do I create a movie clip from such ?
Then I start thinking, how does one create a movie clip, then bring it into another file ?
I even did a test that went:-
1) create new AS3 file
2) draw a box
3) select box and hit F8 Convert to symbol, select movieclip and name it box_movieclip
4) d/click box and made a classic tween and had box moving across stage.
5) save as and named file MovieClip_Boxtest.fla
6) open new file AS3 and import to library the BoxTween.fla and got a message saying One or more files not imported as problems reading them.
So having done the above stages 1 to 5 which made a movieclip, how do I get that into another fla file ?
having done this before I am panicking that I have lost some brain cells !
Envirographics.

When I want to move a movieclip from one fla to another I just right click it in the library and select copy. Then I go to the library of the other fla, right click the library (off any other symbols) and select paste.

How to add a MovieClip in current fla

Like the example Rob Dillon shew me: http://www.ddg-designs.com/downloads/textOverVideo2.zip How to add the text window movieClip? I tried: 1. new as3 project 2. add component -> movieClip -> instance name "aa" but I couldn't find where the new movieClip "aa" was. Please advise. Thanks,

Normally when you create a new movieclip the window opens to the timeline of the movieclip such that the blank screen in front of you would be the inside of the movieclip. If you look in the library you should see it there as well.

How to change the tooltip names for my navbar

Hi,
Does anyone know how to change the tooltop names on the navbar as i need it to say "Next" instead of "Forward"
Thank guys

For SWF you'll need to edit the applicable playbar.fla
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 7 x64\Templates\PlaybackFLA\AS3\
In the Localization MovieClip:
var pbcBtnTips_ENU:Array = new Array("Rewind ",
          "Back ",
          "Play ",
          "Pause ",
          "Forward ",
          "Closed Captioning ",
          "Audio On ",
          "Audio Off ",
          "Exit ",
          "Information ",
          "dummy for scratch bar ",
          "Table of Contents ",
          "2x Fast Forward Speed ",
          "4x Fast Forward Speed ",
          "Normal Speed ",
          "Print");
For HTML 5 you'll need to edit the playbarScript.js file:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 7 x64\Templates\PlaybackFLA\HTML\
cp.playbarTooltips =
AudioOff : 'Audio Off',
AudioOn : 'Audio On',
BackGround : 'BackGround',
Backward : 'Backward',
Color : 'Color',
CC : 'CC',
Exit : 'Exit',
FastForward : '2x Fast Forward Speed',
FastForward1 : '4x Fast Forward Speed',
FastForward2 : 'Normal Speed',
Forward : 'Forward',
Glow : 'Glow',
Height : 'Height',
InnerStroke : 'InnerStroke',
Play : 'Play',
Pause : 'Pause',
Progress : 'Progress',
Rewind : 'Rewind',
Shade : 'Shade',
Stroke : 'Stroke',
Thumb : 'Thumb',
ThumbBase : 'ThumbBase',
TOC : 'TOC'

I need help extending the MovieClip class

I want to add a property to the MovieClip class. I just have a bunch of MovieClips that are placed on the stage by reading an XML file and creating lots of clips according to the information in them. Now, I need to know which MovieClips were created below previous clips, and I figure that the easiest way to do so would be by extending the MovieClip class and add an order property.
I have some problems though: I don't know how to set or get this order property within the main clip, I don't know how to place this clip within my movie, and I don't know how to create them dynamically (do I just do something like var myNewObjectOfExtendedClass : myExtendedClassName = new myExtendedClassName?)
This is the code I have on my extended class, called Expando.as:
class Expando extends MovieClip {
private var _order:Number;
public function get order():Number {
return _order;
public function set order(nOrder:Number):Void {
_order = nOrder;

You mean the Tree component?
My concern with the Tree component (at least the AS2 version) is that I don't see a way to have each node in the Tree have different hit areas with different outcomes.
The tree that I build must have up to 7 levels within each main branch, and not all of them behave the same way. In some branches, clicking the icon next to the label will have a completely different outcome than clicking on the label, which may or may not return a function. Each of those sublevels also need to support different icons, depending on what information is represented by it.
Sample:
• Reminders
My Reminders
Manual Reminders
Escalated Reminders
• Cases
Name Actions < ---- this is where the problem begins. Clicking on the icon where the bullet should be should do something different than clicking on the name, which should do something different than clicking on the word ActionsThis is information about that referral that includes who referred them, the date of the referral, their full address. This information usually takes up 2 lines, sometimes 3
Assignment <------- you can only open see these leaves if you click on the bullet icon for the previous node; you can't open this by clicking on the text.
Eligibility
Etc., depending on what information has been appended
• Suppliers
Anyway, if the Tree Component can indeed support these features, I'd like to know where to find information about it please
In my search for that information, I concluded that I'd probably be better served by building my own MovieClip that can handle these requirements. I did have a working Tree component pretty quickly as I started this project, but then I got more familiar with the app that I'm building the training for and noticed these requirements.
Of course, maybe all these features are supported by the AS3 Tree component. The problem is that I'm a lot worse with AS3 than I am with AS2 heh.

Urgent help: How to remove the accumaltion when show movies step by step with buttons

I want to show the movie step by step by clicking the next
button. Inside each frame, many movie clips are generated
dynamically at runtime, and they can be played interactively.
I achieves the step-by-step display of those frames by adding
another layer with the action stop(). But I got one trouble: all
the movie clips from previous frames are accumalted. How to remove
the accumulation from previous frames?
For the continuous display of the movie, I tried to use
onEnterFrame() and change the _visible property of all the movie
clips to false in this function. But it doesn't work for the
step-by-step display. Once I click the next button, the movie clips
at the current frame just show very quickly, then disappear. What
should I do?
I need to fix this immediately.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
- zcx

you can use the removeMovieClip() method for those movieclips
added dynamically.
